Thru Your Eyes
Another storm rolls in, it's getting under my skin
It reminds me that your trail is incomplete
Is this the same wind that blew you off the mountain
Back when every time you landed on your feet?
And were you in the meadow when I couldn’t help but cry?
Everything I see I wish I saw it through your eyes
The eyes that filled with love and then with fear and then went blank
I see them every hour I'm asleep or I'm awake
I don’t have the words
I finally found that orchard where you saw us picking apples in a dream
I came back alone, there's nowhere left to call home
You're as fleeting as your image on a screen
And are you still beside me in this bed we chose to share?
When I reach to hold you all that I can feel is air
But could it be the same air that contained your dying breath?
Are you in my lungs, can I still hold you in my chest?
I'm wearing all your clothes
It doesn't even come close to the feeling of you wrapping around me
But when it starts to pour I slip out of the front door
And I wander to the middle of the street
Are you in the water as it washes over me?
Are you in the mud that's running underneath my feet?
Can I find it in me to suspend my disbelief
To gaze into the thunder and see you dancing in the heat?
